Summary

The race is on....

When a teenage girl is strangled while out for a run with her friends, it shakes the city of Stoke to its core. Why would anyone want to hurt a child? And who would have the audacity to murder in broad daylight?

DS Grace Allendale and her team are brought in to bring a swift resolution, but investigating the case brings up no leads. It is as if the killer chose the girl at random and then disappeared. And then another young woman is found dead....

A killer without fear and no pattern except random acts of violence: can Grace stop another girl getting hurt before it’s too late?

The unforgettable new thriller from best-selling Mel Sherratt. Perfect for fans of Martina Cole and Cara Hunter.

Paid £3 and it has passed a few hours whilst painting but that's about it. A highly contrived and not very credible plot, paying little regard to even a basic knowledge of real life Police procedures and practices. Also how unlikely is it that an individual investigator would have so many personal links to the various perpetrators and victims? I know this book and others by the same author have lots of very positive reviews but I won't be tempted to try another one, it just wasn't for me.

Wouldn't waste a full credit on this!

This is the first book I have read by this author, I only chose it as it is set in Stoke on Trent, my hometown. I found it irritating that the narrator mispronounced local places that I know so well. To be honest, I didn't think the narrator did the story any favours with her dialect not being at all like a Stokie accent so, for me, it was not believable. I also thought that the story was very average and not very gripping at all. I am disappointed as I expected a bit more from the author, a fellow Stokie! Maybe other readers will enjoy it if they don't come from Stoke!Sorry.

Disappointing!

Fab book until it got to the end.
Where's the rest of the story!?
Mel and Colleen did a fab job but I wish the ending had been better.

Great book

I quite enjoyed the first 2/3rds of this book, despite the author playing fast and loose with Police procedure and the over-writing (e.g. coppers do not use words like ‘proclaimed’ or ‘angst’ during the general course of a shift). However, by 2/3rds of the way in, I became a bit bored, not helped by the narrator being inappropriate for a modern detective novel. The quality of the narration is excellent, but the narrator’s voice is entirely wrong, being rather delegate and soft.

Became disappointing!

The storyline is fairly easy listening but lackluster, quite a ridiculous motive. What completely ruined it for me was the lazy narration, T-glottalization I think it's called. The odd thing was it is during the narration, not the conversations. There's no real end either, more of a cliffhanger, or in this case gentle slope hanger. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Average story made intolerable by poor narrator.
